Data manipulation and hypothesis definition

In class we collected information on the height, weight and of students. In this tutorial you

have done and why.
2. Create one scatterplot capturing all data.
3. Provide an interpretation of the data.
4. Is it possible to analyse the distribution?
5. Formulate an H
